Encouragement for your Day

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

​

Sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are.

​

Reader, You're the daughter of the King.

​

Let's make prayer as easy and as frequent as a family conversation.

​

If you're like us and need some ideas on how to get started, we've compiled a few gentle ideas to get started today. We hope you find them as useful as we do!

​

1. Pray in Everyday Moments

Turn ordinary moments into quick prayers—thank God for a beautiful sunrise, ask for wisdom before a test, or pray for someone in need when you hear an ambulance.

​

2. Make Prayer Part of Your Daily Routine

Tie prayer to existing habits like meals, bedtime, or schoolwork. This makes it a natural and expected part of the day.

​

3. Keep It Interactive and Fun

Use a prayer jar for requests, let kids take turns leading prayers, or write down prayers on sticky notes to track and celebrate answered prayers.

​

4. Model Real and Honest Prayers

Let kids hear you pray about both joys and struggles. Show them that prayer isn’t about perfect words but about talking to God like a trusted friend.

​

5. Encourage Gratitude-Focused Prayer

End each day by sharing one thing you’re thankful for and turning it into a short prayer. A family gratitude journal can help make this a habit.

​

​

"Pray Continually."

1 Thessalonians 5:17
